NEW ARRIVALS AND ENDURING FAVOURITES
AIRELLES ARRIVES IN ST BARTHS (AND THE INTERNET IS ON FIRE)
Big news on the island: Airelles is taking over Le Guanahani, with the new look opening on 1 November. Rosewood's time there has ended, and the Creole-style cottages, two beaches and seven hectares in a nature reserve are all getting a new chapter.
And we've heard EVERYTHING. From "can't wait to see this one, I'm an Airelles loyalist" to "what are they going to do about the beach?" to “no vibe” to "I was just there and all the kids were so happy!"
Our take? Airelles properties have always wowed our clients, even those arriving on opening day in Venice. We trust this team completely.
But here's our one piece of advice. Our aim is to know YOU, so we'll always match you with the right property. For example:
Parisian romance with unlimited budget? Cheval Blanc it is!
The best beach club, classic decor and villa-style privacy? That's Le Toiny
Girls shopping trip, or travelling with teens - We're sending you to Fouquet's for shops and beach both within walking distance.
First time on the island? Has to be Eden Rock St Barths
HOTELS AT THE TOP OF OUR LIST
THE HOTELS THAT MAKE EVERY TRIP UNFORGETTABLE
Perched above Gustavia with glorious views over Shell Beach, Fouquet’s Saint-Barth brings a little Parisian polish to island life, with just 16 suites and a five-bedroom villa keeping things wonderfully intimate. Spend your days between the Biologique Recherche spa and La Guérite Beach, where complimentary sunbeds await hotel guests, with Loulou’s arrival on Shell Beach expected in November adding another lunch spot to the list. Come evening, it’s cocktails with a view and dinner at Beefbar, before wandering into town or retreating to your suite.

Those red roofs and that turquoise bay! Eden Rock is St Barths at its most recognisable, with plenty of personality to match. Rooms and suites are all different, from toes-in-the-sand stays to hideaways perched on the rock, so choosing the right one is part of the fun. Think lazy swims in St Jean Bay, long lunches at Sand Bar and a change out of your beachwear for cocktails at Rémy.

Mornings are easily lost by your pool before heading down to the beach club for a long, barefoot lunch. We’d book it for a romantic escape, with plenty of room to settle in and no rush to go anywhere.

Colourful rooms, lush gardens and a little Riviera flair, Tropical is a playful boutique hideaway just a short stroll from St Jean Beach. With only 24 rooms and suites, it feels wonderfully intimate, with a pool overlooking the bay and plenty of character throughout. We’d pick it for lazy pool mornings, beach afternoons and an easy base for dipping into the St Jean scene.
Right on the beautiful sands of Flamands, Cheval Blanc is one for a proper spoil-yourself stay, with rooms tucked into tropical gardens and beachfront suites worth waking up for. Days slip easily between long beach lunches, Guerlain treatments and dinner overlooking the sea at La Case. We’d choose it for romance, a special celebration and every excuse to book the suite.
